GALTON: Following its run on 31/3/2023 it was reported that the horse hung right handed.

Probable S.P.’s: 4-1 Agonyclite (GB), 11-2 Hostelry (GB), Galton (GB), 15-2 Urban Road (GB), 10-1 She’s Got Bottle (GB), 12-1 Revoquable (GB), 14-1 Darbucks (IRE), Barneys Gift (FR), 22-1 Le Bayou (FR), 50-1 Buachaill (IRE), 66-1 Marcie (IRE), 80-1 Crystal Dawn (IRE)

AGONYCLITE has shown improved form since stepped up to 1m and is taken to go one place better than over C&D last month. Hostelry doesn’t have the easiest of draws but is still feared most on the back of a good reappearance run at Southwell. Urban Road and Galton complete the shortlist.
